Today, Governor Tina Kotek released the following statement in response to President Trump's social media announcement on authorizing federal troops to Portland:

"My office is reaching out to the White House and Homeland Security for more information. We have been provided no information on the reason or purpose of any military mission. There is no national security threat in Portland. Our communities are safe and calm. I ask Oregonians to stay calm and enjoy a beautiful fall day. We will have further comment when we have more information."
